Although Zhao Honghan spoke urgently, he also hesitated a bit. He knew that the current situation of the Zhao family must have been influenced by Wen Xin.
Now, if Wen Xin wanted to ruin the Zhao family, there must be a reason for it. Although Zhao Honghan didn’t know what Wen Xin intended to do, he understood Wen Xin. She wouldn’t act so outrageously without a reason.
“Wen Xin, my mother said that we can discuss anything. You can ask for anything you want. Can you please give the Zhao family a way out?”
Zhao Honghan waited anxiously for Wen Xin’s reply. He was also worried that if the Old Madam waited too long for news, it would not be good for her health.
“Uncle Zhao, when I treated Old Madam Zhao’s illness before, it was entirely because of Uncle Zhao’s face. If Uncle Zhao hadn’t risked his life to protect Uncle Tan, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet the Zhao family.”
“But my debt of gratitude has been repaid. One life for one life. If it weren’t for me, the Old Madam Zhao wouldn’t have lived to this day. You can’t deny this, right?”
“I’ve been merciful to the Zhao family. If I had acted as I normally did, the Zhao family would probably have been sealed off by now. You should be well aware of my methods, Uncle Zhao, right?”
Zhao Honghan trembled slightly at Wen Xin’s words. It seemed that Wen Xin was genuinely angry this time.
“Please give the Zhao family another chance, for my sake? No matter what, Uncle Zhao has done so much for you. Can you spare the Zhao family this time?”
Zhao Honghan originally couldn’t bring himself to beg Wen Xin like this, but he only wanted to ensure that the elderly lady could spend her remaining years in peace, considering how much she had done for his family.
“Dad, please don’t pressure Little Aunt anymore. Hasn’t Little Aunt helped our family enough? Although you’ve done a lot for her, your direct promotion to the capital was also due to Little Aunt’s contributions. Otherwise, how could you have been promoted to the capital so easily?”
Zhao Yuyao came down from upstairs just in time to hear Zhao Honghan morally blackmailing Wen Xin. He wanted to hit Zhao Yuzheng when he heard that he had insulted Wen Xin. He didn’t think Wen Xin did anything wrong.
“Dad, think about it from another perspective. If someone humiliated your daughter like that, wouldn’t you fight back? Little Aunt had already lost her liver because of the Geng family. Now she has to bear such accusations. Don’t you think it’s too much? Zhao Yuzheng is just sick in the head. It’s okay for him to suffer a hit!”
Thinking about it now made Zhao Yuyao angry. Zhao Yuzheng’s words directly put Wen Xin on the pillar of shame. This also showed that his Little Aunt had real skills and talents. If it were someone else, their entire life would have been ruined by Zhao Yuzheng’s words. Did he deserve that?
Zhao Honghan felt ashamed by Zhao Yuyao’s words. Especially when he thought about what Zhao Hongyuan said, that Wen Xin had already withdrawn from the independent enrollment of the University of Beijing. Zhao Honghan realized that he shouldn’t have made this call. It was Zhao Yuyao’s words that sobered him up.
“Wen Xin, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said such things to you. I’ll go back and talk to my mother. I can’t interfere in this matter.”
Wen Xin clearly heard Zhao Yuyao’s words. She listened to Zhao Yuyao defending her at every turn, and she felt that the Zhao family might still have a chance.
“Uncle Zhao, I will call the Old Madam Zhao about this matter. I will handle this matter properly.”
Wen Xin hung up the phone directly. She looked up and saw Mu Chengxi lying lazily on the bed, holding his head in his hand, gazing at her intently.
“What? Have you made up your mind again? Are you going to intervene in the Zhao family’s affairs? Aren’t you afraid that the Old Madam Zhao will resent you?” Mu Chengxi climbed out of bed, walked to Wen Xin’s side, and wrapped her in his arms.
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi’s lazy appearance, which was particularly charming. She narrowed her eyes and lay in Mu Chengxi’s arms. “In the face of major right and wrong issues, Zhao Yuyao is more sensible than Zhao Yuzheng. It’s probably because of his mother’s influence. I think it’s better to entrust the future of the Zhao family to Zhao Yuyao than Zhao Yuzheng.”
“You liking it is what matters. I support you in all your decisions. As long as you talk to Madam Zhao, I can refrain from further actions against the Zhao family. However, I don’t intend to stop my business abroad. This is just a small interest I’m claiming back from Zhao Yuzheng for mistreating my girlfriend. It’s my girlfriend’s birthday soon, and I want to earn money to buy her a birthday gift.”
Mu Chengxi rubbed his head against Wen Xin’s neck affectionately. He was looking forward to Wen Xin’s birthday.
After taking full advantage of her on the sofa, Mu Chengxi reluctantly let go of Wen Xin and walked into the bathroom to freshen up.
Wen Xin lay on the sofa, watching Mu Chengxi’s departing figure. She felt that this man was becoming more and more uncontrollable, just like last night in the bathroom…
Thinking of what Mu Chengxi did last night, Wen Xin felt a bit overwhelmed. She dared not think, if this man were to let loose, wouldn’t it be dangerous?
Thinking of this, Wen Xin glanced at the time on her phone. That day was getting closer… Suddenly, she felt an urge to give in.
After breakfast, she checked her exam results online, glanced at them, then put her phone aside and continued to read the revision materials in her hand. She had her second-round examination tomorrow.
Mu Chengxi sat next to Wen Xin, watching her absent-minded actions. He was curious about Wen Xin’s performance. Since starting high school, Wen Xin had only taken one midterm exam, and her results had helped Zhao Yuyao and the others. He was curious about Wen Xin’s true abilities.
He reached out and took Wen Xin’s phone, opened it, glanced at the exam results, then slowly put the phone back on the coffee table and pulled Wen Xin into his arms.
“Little ancestor, how do you manage to stay so calm after seeing your first exam results?”
Wen Xin put down the book in her hand and met Mu Chengxi’s eyes, which were dark with a subtle smile. She raised her eyebrows. “Just because I haven’t studied at school doesn’t mean I don’t know anything, right? These trivial matters can’t stump me at all. It’s too flashy to do too well on exams. There’s no need for it.’
Wen Xin’s indifferent tone was unbelievable. Perhaps it was her casual and carefree attitude that made him feel she was extraordinary?
Wen Xin glanced at the time and felt it was almost time to talk to Madam Zhao about the Zhao family’s affairs.
“I’m going to make a phone call.” Wen Xin struggled to get up from Mu Chengxi’s embrace and walked to the study upstairs with her phone.
Mu Chengxi picked up his tablet, opened Weibo, and clicked on the trending page. Indeed, the results of Beijing University’s independent enrollment were out, causing quite a stir.
“Divine intervention, huh? After following Beijing University for so many years, it’s the first time someone has achieved such a miraculous result in independent enrollment, right?”
“Agreed! It’s probably 300 points that limits this god’s operation, right?”
